Patrick Mahomes marvels at Josh Allen’s Saturday-night performance
‘Mahomes was watching the game and had a joke of his own, tweeting: “Man has 3 passing TDs on this drive somehow,” he wrote with three laughing emojis at the end. It probably seemed like three because the Bills had a touchdown called back earlier in the game.’
Bills players greeted by enormous reception from Bills Mafia at airport
‘The Covid-19 pandemic has kept fans out of the stadium this season. So Bills players, especially new ones like Stefon Diggs and Josh Norman, haven’t been able to truly experience Bills Mafia. But they got a rowdy introduction on Sunday morning.’
Five takeaways: Bills clinch first AFC East title since ‘95 with shellacking of Broncos on Saturday Night Football

Sullivan: Division-champion Bills leave drought doldrums in the dust

Bills QB Josh Allen on John Elway, Broncos draft snub: “I’m where I’m supposed to be”

Paul Klee: Denver Broncos’ long nightmare can be traced to 2018 NFL draft — and passing on Josh Allen
‘Instead of resentment, Allen should thank Denver. He’s better off in Buffalo, where he will be king. Allen is slippery like Russell Wilson, rocket-armed like Ben Roethlisberger, young (24) like he has room to grow. He is that good.’
Woody Paige: Why the Broncos didn’t draft Josh Allen is anyone’s guess now
‘Allen, according to Vic Fangio, “is a great quarterback, up there with the best in the league.’’ You think? John Elway didn’t think enough of Allen to draft him in 2018.’
Oh my Josh. Bills’ Allen befuddles Broncos in rout
‘It’s a difficult argument to make that Allen would have progressed the way he has Buffalo, given the Broncos series of coaches and coordinators. However, on a cold Saturday, the former Cowboy rode the Broncos like a rented mule, sending a message with his dazzling performance. The Bills routed the Broncos, clinching their first AFC East title since 1995.’
Bradley Chubb is a stud, but Broncos have to be kicking themselves for passing on Josh Allen
‘But who would you rather have? A pass-rusher or a franchise quarterback who is in the running for MVP? Give me the 6’5” 237-pound QB with a rocket arm and ability to make plays with his legs all day.’

Bills Beat Broncos 48-19 For First AFC East Crown Since 1995
‘“We’re going to enjoy it on the flight back home, but we know the job ain’t done yet,” defensive end Jerry Hughes said after the Bills’ 48-19 dismantling of the Denver Broncos officially ended New England’s 11-year reign atop the division.’
Buffalo Bills cruise past Denver Broncos en route to their first AFC East championship since 1995
‘”This community and this team had such a great tradition in the late ’80s and early ’90s, to where it fell to in the 2000s until Sean and I got here, I think that’s what was exciting,” Beane said. “This was an opportunity in a place that’s been down for so long that had such a great tradition, and still has a great fan base. How exciting would it be to get this thing turned around and host playoff games here?’
Bills’ Josh Allen throws for and runs for multiple scores
‘On third-and-5 from the Broncos’ 24-yard line, Allen fielded the snap, stepped up in the pocket between Denver defensive linemen Dre’Mont Jones and Shelby Harris, and scampered for the first down. From there, Allen avoided Broncos defensive back Alijah Holder and ran untouched into the end zone.’
Bills get second defensive TD in as many weeks with Jerry Hughes’ scoop-and-score
‘On the Broncos’ first play following Allen’s touchdown, cornerback Tre’Davious White caught up to quarterback Drew Lock from behind and knocked the ball loose. Hughes scooped up the fumble and weaved his way through several Denver players and down the sideline to put Buffalo up three scores midway through the third quarter. Hughes’ only other defensive touchdown came in 2014, his second year with the Bills. He played running back in high school and converted to defensive end at TCU.’
